as for the orange peel effect, you will always have orange peel in paint. just need to cut and polish after to get the mirror shine. take practice to get it right on styrene, but when done holy smooth! 2500 paper to start with. then final cut with 3000 sand paper. then 3 stage polish compounds with low to really low polisher rpm's. takes time but well worth it.

So your volunteering to polish the paint? Seems you know how to make it shine
LOL
OK I was bored today so I decided to mess around with the truck again and finally install the charge port so I don't have to take the breathers and rack off everytime the battery dies.....
Unfortunately the local hobby store blows (hobby town usa) and doesn't sell Tamiya anything....... SO getting the switch I needed to get that Travis told me about wasn't an option without ordering online so I just went to ACE Hardware and bought one similar. so once again took the cab off and started drilling, cutting, and soldering wires and ended up with this
and three way toggle On/off/charge
tested it out and worked perfect!! No more tearing it apart to get to the battery, used a 5100 MAH so ill have plenty of run time too.
So heres some current photos
Thanks for looking
